In June the base held their annual car show. It isn't as big as most car shows are, but it was fun to see what they did have there. My oldest son and I rarely get to have time with just him and I, so I brought him a long with me. Let me tell you, it was HOT.. The triple digits are normal thing around here, but we are still not used to it. The car above was my particular favorite. My Granddaddy had one just like it in teal, so it got a lot of attention from me, from the inside out
The older cars are definitely my favorite, and I wish there had been more to photograph.. Aiden's favorite was the car that shoot fire out of its pipes.. We got the treat of the owner revving its engine and making the fire shoot out. It was loud and Aiden covered his ears, but he would not budge, not to mention it was RED, which is Aiden's favorite color, made it that much better. Then he found the ones that had flames painted on them and decided that when he gets older he wants one like the black on with the orange flames..
The truck below was just flat out AWESOM
E.. It is painted to commemorate 9/11, If you look at the front of the hood between its head lights you will see a piece of glass that was recovered from the wreckage. Being a military spouse with a husband who's deployed, and countless friends who have husbands still there, and knowing how many gave the ultimate sacrifice, the images on the truck pulls at the heart strings in a big way. Takes you right back as if it were yesterday and it reminds you to not take a single moment fore granted.
A Snowball break was more than necessary on this crazy hot day. He was so happy to be able to have it to himself and not have to share it with his baby brother. It so important to make sure that each kid feels special.. Aiden is the oldest of three, and a lot of the time, he doesnt get much special "Mom and Me Time" I am so happy he came along with me and we get some extra special bonding. He was my rock when his Daddy was deployed, at that time it was just me and him, and we had lunch and dinner dates all the time. I'm happy that he enjoyed himself.
We took one last stroll around the car show to make sure that there wasn't anything that we missed, and headed home.
Until next time,
xoxo,
